W – Wistar rats, HTG – hereditary hypertriglyceridemic rats fed standard diet, HTG+HFC – hereditary hypertriglyceridemic rats fed high cholesterol diet. TRG – triglycerides, TC – total cholesterol, LDL – low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol fraction, HDL – high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol fraction. Data are means ± SEM of 8 experiments.
